Madelyn

[Jamieson17]

Thoughts?
It would be Madelyn, right?
Madeleine - Mad-eh-leen
Madelaine - Mad-eh-lane
Madeline - Mad-eh-line
Madelyn is Mad-eh-lyn? This is a massive deal to me and I just want it to be right :(

Why mess with a beautiful classic name? Reminds me of madeley (as in Richard). I would know it was mad a Lin but in my head would be thinking 'mayd lin'.

For me Madeleine and Madelyn are pronounced the same way, no 'leen' at the end of Madeleine.

madalaine looks like a spelling mistake to me

Madeline would be as you've said.

If someone told me their child's name was mad-eh-Lyn, I would just assume it was spelt Madeleine - to me that's the normal spelling and pronunciation. Madelyn looks a bit made up/unique.

I am a Madeleine and I adore my spelling! I'm probably (definitely) biased but I think it's great and I've always had frequent compliments. I'm 37.

Go for the proper spelling Madeleine

Beautiful name by the way

Please go with Madeleine. Your pronunciation seems to be the way most people say it anyway.

I would pronounce all four spellings the same way, and assume they are incorrect/variant spellings of Madeleine.

I prefer the Madeleine spelling

Well, I would pronounce

Madeleine as Mad-eh-laine (emphasis on Laine)

Madelyn as Mad-eh-lyn (emphasis on Mad)

And Madeline as Mad-eh-lyne

Madeleine is the traditional spelling, and is pronounced Mad-uh-lyn, not Mad-uh-leen. I'd stick with that.

Madeleine and Madelyn are pronounced the same, IMO.

Madeline is Mad-uh-LINE (to rhyme with divine - like the French girl in the books/movies).

Madelaine is not a name.

They are all pronounced the same (except that some people still use the rather old-fashioned-sounding English pronunciation of Madeline - to rhyme with 'mine'). Just use one of the proper spellings (Madeleine or Madeline).

Madeleine is a beautiful name and perfect spelt like that.

Madelyn would be pronounced the same but I think that spelling is far duller and more prone to mispronunciation.
